laughing partway to the bank
Good Sister just called, right before her bedtime. It's always exciting.
Good: My mother's investments with a certain financial institution don't have to go through probate, unlike her other assets. They just get disbursed to us heirs. Uh, gosh, I sure could use a cash infusion right about now.
Bad: Unlike Evil Sister, I've received no notification. There are two likely reasons: I don't have an account with this institution, and they might have used my previous address. GS recommends that I bug them over the phone, and warns me that'll be time-consuming.
Unknown: Do they have the correct name for me? I don't know, but it's possible. If Mom (or Good Sister) used even my old address, I was using my current name a couple of years before I even moved into the old Devil Girl Pad.
Also unknown: how much money we're talking about. Known: Good Sister just sent me a photo of the letter that Evil Sister got. The amount is in the high four figures, if I understand it correctly, i.e. it's to be divided by three. Nothing to sneeze at, certainly.
